Summary:

Everett School District serves 20,392 students across 30 schools — 18 elementary, 5 middle, 6 high schools and 1 alternative school — in the communities north of Seattle, including Everett, Mill Creek, Bothell and Silver Firs. The district ranks 37th of 238 in Washington (84th percentile) with a 4-star rating. All-grade proficiency beats the state in every subject: ELA 65.49% versus 52.81%, math 57.23% versus 43.11%, and science 62.64% versus 50.95%. The graduation rate is 96.2% against 82.6% statewide, with a dropout rate of 1.7% versus 9.8%.

Several schools stand out as among the best in Washington. Cedar Wood Elementary ranks 5th of 1,138 elementary schools with ELA 87.61, math 85.25 and science 90.52. Tambark Creek Elementary School ranks 7th (ELA 86.63, math 87.92, science 88.33) with the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate in the district at 11.08%. Silver Firs Elementary, Forest View Elementary School and Mill Creek Elementary also rank in the top 6% of elementaries. Gateway Middle School (22nd of 514; ELA 79.73, math 69.07, science 74.45) and Heatherwood Middle School lead the middle schools, while Henry M. Jackson High School leads high schools with a 98.2% graduation rate.

Outcomes vary widely by school. Hawthorne Elementary School has 83.86% free/reduced lunch and the district's lowest elementary scores (ELA 26.67, math 25.13, science 41.27), and Sequoia High School posts 6.82 math proficiency despite the district's highest per-student spending at $46,375. Poverty does not determine results, though: Whittier Elementary (46.21% FRL) and Monroe Elementary (54.41% FRL) exceed district and state averages. Math is the weakest area at Cascade High School and Everett High School. A "—" means the state suppressed a figure; those values are unknown, not zero. Small and alternative schools such as Everett Virtual Academy and Everett Reengagement Academy serve specialized populations and should not be compared directly with comprehensive schools.
